but seriously right now we seem to have line item additions by committee. i think that when a final compromise bill is finished both full house and senate should vote it into law. and maybe a limit to how many items to a bill or a set dollar amount. i seem to recall being told that there are actually no federal elections. that the federal officeholders are put on the state tickets. why is it ok for the military to vote securely electronically but not safe for the rest of us?

Hi

At long last, Clintion was able to get the line-item veto
for budgets. 

It's a shame we can't get a requirement to limit a bill to
ONE SPECIFIC thingy at a time!

Perhaps we can get a Senator to file a suit and let the
Suspreme Court create the rule. They did a good job in
the 60's & 70's on civil rights when the other two branches
of government were stalled on the issues.
